Monday morning at 9:30 on Urban Jacksonville Weekly, we’re talking with Clay Doran and UJW producer, Jack Diablo about their new spaces off Talleyrand on Wambolt Street. The Devil’s Playground and Warehouse 8B are two emerging art and music venues in the city.
Talleyrand is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. It’s full of huge warehouses, crazy machinery, containers and cranes. It’s a waterfront warehouse district at it’s best and it’s been underutilized by Jacksonville’s creative community, until now.

It’s not the only industrial district ripe for use. Just a couple miles to the West is Springfield’s industrial district. Metro Jacksonville describes it in a recent article The Underappreciated Side of Springfield
Springfield is home to one of Jacksonville’s most compact historic industrial districts. Centered along the S-Line, if JTA gets their commuter rail plans off the ground, they could be the catalyst for transforming this district into a place dominated by lofts, art galleries, cultural and entertainment uses commonly seen in more progressive communities.
